I am taking it to a detailer this friday: xpel, opti coat pro, he asked me to ask the dealership not to wash it, so it's filthy.
Great Car. I traded in a 2008 RX 400h, in comparison, there seems to be little body role taking a corner in sport+. I could go on and on......

CONGRATS!

I am enjoying my 2017 450h also. I have got many compliments on the Caviar paint. It is my favorite of all their colors.

Hope you enjoy for a long time.

One more voice in the chorus of approval of the RX. I've been the happy owner of a 2017 RX 350 Nightfall Mica/Stratus Gray for exactly one week now. This is an amazing vehicle, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Love my 2017 rx 450h f sport, Fully loaded. Have had it for three weeks. Traded in my 2008 rx 400h, which I also loved. This car is amazing and no issues so far - other than the annoying ones built into software that many of us would like Lexus to update\change.

I felt the need to chime in... I love my rx350 F-Sport so much as well!!

I didn't think there would be many more options coming from my 07 is350 but boy was I wrong as this car does everything. I can count like 10 major items that have been upgraded, I didn't even know about the self driving/lane centering/auto braking when I bought it but it works well for me on the highways.

The more I drive it the more I love it!

Thumbs up My First Car Compliment

I was driving home from the dealer and I received my first car compliment, ever. I had just picked up my 17 Atomic Silver RX 450h F Sport series 3 and had stopped at a light. Gentleman walking his dog in front of me approached the driver's side window. I rolled it down and he says "That is an amazing looking car." I thanked him and smiled when I rolled the window up as he went on his way.

So I owned the car for two hours before my first ever compliment. That never happened in my bimmer.

Keep up the good work, Lexus, you have converted me in short order.

Very fortunate for me, my wife likes driving her Odyssey so I don't have to fight for my new RX350 F-sport.

I got it about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it, definitely worth it to wait 7 weeks for factory order to get exactly what I wanted. Just 1 very minor beef that I'm not too crazy about the F-sport sound generator, I'm going to have it removed and capped off, I'll post some pics when I'm done for those who would prefer the traditional quiet Lexus ride.

We're loving ours too! Less than a month old, yet we've already taken trips to Lake Tahoe and Bodega Bay in it. The miles just glide by in this cushy ride.

Default I Really Like My 4RX

In reading much of this forum, it sounds like the 4RX is a disaster. It is not! I have had my 2016 RX350 for just over a year and overall I really like it. It is smooth riding, quiet, roomy, and adequately powerful. I have not had any of the noise/vibration issues that others have had. I did have a bit of hesitation, but the reprogram fixed this. I have had no other issues and the car is the usual Lexus trouble free. This is my 6th new Lexus and 3rd RX, a 2006 400h, a 2010 350, and this one. Do I love this car like I did my '09 LS460? No, but I do really like it.

Don't feel bad - many forums seem to be the sounding board for complaints. I get it - we all want our cars to be perfect. They can't be though so we have to learn to live with it. I still enjoy reading everything here and my personal experience with the RX has been nothing but superb.

Permit me to add my praises for the 4th generation RX. My heavily optioned Premium RX350 in Atomic Silver with parchment interior (8-17 build) is a joy. Always look forward to taking a ride in it somewhere (anywhere!). The edgy styling is playing out to be a plus ... it doesn't look like the box it came in. Add mudflaps and mine is a dead ringer for this one:


Happy motoring!
